127: Lobster Boy

Happy Monday cult babes! This week we’re getting crazy with the carnies talking about the absolute insanity behind the Stile’s family. Grady Stiles Jr. a.k.a. ‘Lobster Boy’ was born into the carnival life, and while carnivals tend to be looked at with a smile, you won’t be by the end of this story. We’ve got claw hands, moidah, and a whole lotta bullshit.
